Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Wanyan Zonghan was extremely angry. For him, this was almost breaking ground at the age of Tai Sui! Tens of thousands of Jurchen cavalry were stationed in Liaoyang Mansion, and the Han people burned several granaries under their noses. This is a shame to the entire Jurchen army!

"Chase! Kill all the Han people! When I invaded the Central Plains, I led the army all the way south, and no one could stop it! The Han people are just like pigs and dogs, and now they dare to invade us just by relying on some tricks! They really What’s more, I’m getting impatient! This time, I must catch all these invading Han people and execute them all! I want every Han Chinese to die extremely cruelly. Only in this way can I vent my anger! In the future, I want to invade the Central Plains and wipe out the Han people! I want to kill him in the Central Plains and let his blood flow like a river!" Wanyan Zonghan gritted his teeth and kept growling.

The 30,000 Jurchen cavalry are filled with righteous indignation at this moment, and their speed is extremely fast.

There were still footprints left by the Song army on the ground, and they chased after them.

An hour later, the direction of the footprints suddenly changed.

"Marshal, they seem to be heading east!" He Shi Lie Zhining said.

"Give me a careful search for a while, maybe the Han people are setting up suspicious positions! The Han people are good at conspiracies and tricks, so you have to guard against them!" Wanyan Zonghan gritted his teeth.

Numerous Jurchen cavalry were heading in all directions, and after a while Heshi Liezhining came back again, saying: "Marshal, they are really heading east!"

"Chase!" Wanyan Zonghan roared, leading the army towards the east.

After walking for more than an hour, it was already noon, and the weather was extremely hot. If it was in the past, the Jurchen would have hid in the shade of a tree to rest, and the Jurchen soldiers and horses have already fallen, and they are not willing to chase the Song army in such weather! But at this moment, Yan Zonghan ordered to move forward, and they dared not stop.

Time passed gradually, and the Jurchens could always see the footprints left by Song Jun along the way.

In the afternoon, the sight became more and more desolate, patches of weeds appeared in front of the Jurchens, and the surrounding air became extremely humid.

"Marshal, we can't go any further!" He Shi Lie Zhining said sharply.

"Why can't we move forward?" Wanyan Zonghan said.

"Commander, this is where the swamp is!" He Shi Lie Zhining said.

Wanyan Zonghan was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized!

This is where the famous "Liaoze" in history is located. In ancient times, it was as famous as Yunmengze and Juyeze!

In the ancient Liaohe River Basin, there were swamps around the Liaohe River, which were called Liaoze! Historically, Liao Ze did not disappear until the Qing Dynasty! The area of ​​Liaoze is huge, and the terrain is extremely complicated! During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty both conquered Goguryeo, but they failed repeatedly. Of course, it was due to the strong national power of Goguryeo at that time, but it also had a deep relationship with the barrier of Liaoze! "Old Tang Book" once recorded that "Eighteen years, from the expedition to Korea, and the teacher's brigade to Liaoze, there were more than two hundred miles of mud from east to west, and there was no way for people and horses". In the rest of the year, the weeds are several feet high and stretch as far as the eye can see. There are often whirlpools in the grass, which can be as wide as ten feet." "Mosquitoes are full of sky, chaotic and flying snow, and the sound is like thunder. Mules and horses are eaten, bleeding all over their bodies, and sometimes eat the dead in an instant." ", "From the soldiers of the army, the bones look at each other, all over the field... Cut grass to fill roads, use carts as beams in the depths of the water, snowstorm, soldiers get wet and die."

The environment of this Liaohe River is too complicated, if it is not investigated clearly in advance, it is impossible to pass through! When Emperor Yangdi of Sui Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Tang conquered Korea, there were countless casualties and only then did they pass the Liaohe River!

"The Han people have entered the swamp! This..." Wanyan Zonghan couldn't believe it at the moment.

"Marshal, there are still footprints left by the Han people here, we can still follow them there!" a commander said.

"No! The Han people are all infantry. In this swamp, infantry can pass, but cavalry may not be able to pass!" He Shi Lie Zhining said.

"Aren't the Han people afraid of being trapped to death inside?" asked the commander-in-chief.

"The Han people may also be afraid of our pursuit, so they hid here! But it is also possible that they know the way inside! They once sent people to investigate." Heshi Lie Zhining said.

Wanyan Zonghan dismounted from his horse and walked forward. The Jurchen soldiers behind were stunned, and then dismounted and walked forward.

However, after walking less than half a mile, their legs were already stuck in the mud, and it was difficult to lift their legs.

"Marshal, it's getting dark, we can't move forward! After dark, it's almost a dead end!" He Shi Lie Zhining said.

Wanyan Zonghan finally nodded.

"Marshal, let's go back to Liaoyang! Just leave some soldiers and horses here to guard." He Shi Lie Zhining said.

"No! I can't just let the Han people go! The Han people are so despicable and shameless, they dare not fight us head-on, they only plot tricks, such a cowardly race, I must wipe them all out! I guess they are probably from Enter the Liaohe River above the sea, then go all the way north from the Liaohe River, and then come to Liaoyang from the swamp! It must be like this, it must be like this! They have to go back, let’s chase them now and block them from the mouth of the sea!" Wanyan Zonghan gritted his teeth.

Heshi Liezhining froze there.

"Go back! Get on your horse immediately and continue to chase south! Also, leave some soldiers and horses here! If the Han people come out from here, send someone to notify me immediately, and I will go north immediately! I don't believe I can't kill these Han people!" Wanyan Zonghan said angrily.

At present, the Jurchen army continued to run towards the south.

*** ***

At this moment, more than 20 miles east of the swamp, an army is trekking here!

They obviously investigated the terrain here. In some places, the weeds were almost as tall as a person. Someone in front kept cutting the weeds with knives, and the people behind walked forward quickly.

As the sun sets, the fiery red sun shines on the grassland and swamp in front of you! Occasionally you can see dense forests, and occasionally you can see lakes! Sometimes water birds fly, and in other places there are countless mosquitoes!

After another quarter of an hour, the sound of water came from ahead!

This army is the Tianjin Navy led by Wu Jie. After hearing the sound of water, Wu Jie couldn't help but smile on his face.

"We have come to Liaohe! Our fleet is waiting for us!" Wu Jie said.

"Finally came to Liaohe!" The soldiers behind also showed excited smiles on their faces.

"It's getting dark, hurry up!" Wu Jie said.

They ran forward with big strides, and finally an extremely wide river appeared in front of them, which is where the Liaohe River is located!

The ancient Liaohe River was much wider than the modern Liaohe River. The Liaohe River and the Yangtze River were compared in the history of the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty! Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Tang both spent a lot of effort to cross the Liaohe River!

At this moment, there were hundreds of big boats floating on the Liaohe River. Seeing this big boat, all the soldiers cheered!

"Get on board!" Wu Jie laughed loudly!

At least half an hour passed, and the sky was completely dark. At this moment, these hundreds of large ships began to go downstream along the Liao River.

Wu Jie stood at the bow of the boat, letting the cool wind from the river blow on him, his clothes fluttered constantly, and his hair also fluttered.

"Marshal, are we going back to Tianjin Wei?" A general in his twenties came behind Wu Jie and said.

"Since last year, we have wanted to cross the sea to fight, making it difficult for the Jurchens to survive! Now we just burned a few granaries, which is nothing at all! After you get to the sea, you lead 20,000 troops to attack Chenzhou eastward, I personally lead an army of 30,000 to the west to attack Yaozhou, Jinzhou and other places!" Wu Jie said.

Both Chenzhou and Yaozhou are important cities on the Liaodong Peninsula. Chenzhou is probably located in the current location of Gaizhou City, Liaoning Province, and Yaozhou is located west of Yingkou City! These were all built by the Khitan people!

As for the young general, he is an important general in the Tianjin Navy and Wu Jie's right-hand man. His name is Xue Quan. He was originally from Sichuan, Shu and Yuzhou without any background. figure! That Xue Quan is brave and good at fighting, and has played an important role in several battles.

The fleet is marching mightily in the Liaohe River. There are swamps everywhere on both sides of the Liaohe River. There are no people within a hundred miles. The Tianjin Navy is not afraid of being discovered or attacked by the Jurchen!

They marched all night, until the afternoon of the second day, the river became wider and wider, the surrounding swamps gradually disappeared, and occasionally some Khitan fishing villages existed! There were also some Khitans fishing around the mouth of the Liaohe River, but seeing such a fleet, those Khitans were terrified and hurriedly hid!

The fleet entered the sea, where Xue Quan led 20,000 marines to the east along the coastline, while Wu Jie led an army of 30,000 to Yaozhou!

*** ***

Yaozhou was originally very prosperous. At that time, Liao was the most powerful country in East Asia. After 200 years of its founding, the people of Koryo were forced to join the Liao people. The business between Koryo and Khitan was through Yaozhou and other places!

However, after being occupied by the Jurchens, it has begun to decline, and the Khitans have difficulty surviving, but the Jurchens are not interested in production at all. The only thing they are interested in is plundering!

The Khitan people used to have sailors, and Yaozhou had a navy of more than 10,000 people back then. Unfortunately, when the Jurchens invaded, they didn't play any role.

Later, after this navy was wiped out by the Jurchens, the ships of the navy were taken over by the Jurchens. The Jurchens also used these ships to form a navy, but there were only more than 3,000 people.

The sun has set, the sea breeze is blowing, and the seaside is very cool.

A Jurchen commander was lying on the beach, several Khitan women were kneeling beside him, and dozens of Jurchen soldiers were guarding him in the distance!

Some of those Khitan women were holding fans, some were holding grapes, and some were holding barbecued meat, and they were serving the Jurchen commander.

"This kind of life is really carefree!" the Jurchen commander secretly said.

He is the leader of the three thousand navy divisions in Yaozhou City!

"I heard that Master Zong Han is going to mobilize an army to attack the Han people again, but this has nothing to do with our navy! Since I became the leader of this navy, I have never fought a battle! Now let me fight, that will not work! I'll just enjoy it here in Yaozhou Mansion, and enjoy my old age! Although the Han people are powerful in their schemes and schemes, they can't be the opponent of Master Zong Han!" The commander ate a grape and let out a satisfied sigh. He hugged a Khitan woman, pushed the Khitan woman to the ground, and went so far as to publicly prostitute herself on the beach.

And at this moment, countless huge warships appeared on the distant sea!
